floor space needed for BP?

[jessie_k_pythons]

what is the best size of floor space needed for a fully grown BP. I would need it in inches (28 x 44 x 12 ect..) or in cubic feet (1.5 cu ft.)

last question. When the rack is made out of wood can I place the heat source right on the wood if Im useing a dimer switch? like if Im useing a UTH or flexwat? (what is flex wat??)

Something my husband wanted to know.

Full grown ball pythons are commonly kept in tubs measuring 36 in L x 17 in. W x 6 in. H. If you are going to use a rack system, dimmers will be inadequate. You will need to purchase a good thermostat to run the rack.

Flexwatt is a UTH commonly used for rack systems. Here is a link: http://www.mgreptiles.com/FLEXFAQ.html

That is very nice, what kind of wood materials are you going to use to build?

[jessie_k_pythons]

We have an endless suply of MDF in 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch. most of our stuff is made out if it.

this amp stand/entertainment(sp?) center was made for 3/4 inch MDF and panted with High Gloss Latex Paint


This is one of the 2 Home audio towers. It is a full range 8 inch speaker. made out of 3/4 inch MDF


here is the tower being built


this is the finished product.(sp?) We dont have a TV so we use a BENQ projector and a home built computer to play movies, games or our Fish tank screen saver. We use our living room as a show room for people who want home or car audio work done.
